create_map · Leaflet MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_map does on Leaflet

AI agents use create_map to create or update resources in Leaflet — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Leaflet environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_map needs a policy

This tool creates or produces code content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript bundles) without executing it directly or modifying existing systems. The generated code is a reversible artifact that can be discarded, edited, or overwritten. It does not delete data, move money, run external commands, or have irreversible side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool generates and produces 'complete Leaflet map initialization code with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript'—creating code artifacts that are then typically saved/written to files.

Verdict

create_map Rate-limited

create_map stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
